WHAT DOES RANDOM SAMPLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sampling (statistics)

In statistics, quality assurance, & survey methodology, sampling is concerned with the selection of a subset of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. Each observation measures one or more properties of observable bodies distinguished as independent objects or individuals. In survey sampling, weights can be applied to the data to adjust for the sample design, particularly stratified sampling. Results from probability theory and statistical theory are employed to guide practice. In business and medical research, sampling is widely used for gathering information about a population. The sampling process comprises several stages: ▪ Defining the population of concern ▪ Specifying a sampling frame, a set of items or events possible to measure ▪ Specifying a sampling method for selecting items or events from the frame ▪ Determining the sample size ▪ Implementing the sampling plan ▪ Sampling and data collecting ▪ Data which can be selected...
